Seen my art and wonder what an entire game drawn by me would be like?

It took four whole years to make, but that's exactly what my flowstate platformer NEKONECRO is!

I've clicked off so many Ghouls 'n' Ghosts videos lately (it's October, I get hungry for spooky) because of language like that.

And it's like, these people DO know the buy-in for arcade games was optional, right? They didn't "force" players to pay the money.

(and by shadows, I really do mean you're secretly playing as the black ovals on the ground -- ssshhhh, don't tell anyone! :P )

I'd collision-check the shadows, personally. Using an instance variable check for heights.

Oh yeah, I've toyed around with doing that before. Always put off by the workload though, it's gotta be an immense amount of animation.

All the complaining I've been doing about the online age-verification is for a reason.

And I've been met with "bro just do it so u can access stuff", but no. Absofuckinglutely not.

(sorry if you've DMed me recently, I can't get it)

Remember how I kept talking about the Metroidvania book I had in the works, and then it kinda dropped off the radar? I didn't lose interest. I was just working with a Legit Major Publisher (Dark Horse!) on turning it into the pilot release for a Press Run team-up: www.gamespot.com/articles/exp...
Explore The Origins Of Metroidvania In This New Retro Gaming Book
This new book will explore the history of the enduring metroidvania genre in video games.

Oh god. I hated that era.

"It's just blurry because you have a standard-def TV", I was gaslit. No, things really did this shit, as my late-to-the-party HD set revealed. :/

George Miller was asked why he's taking part in an AI film festival

"“AI is arguably the most dynamically evolving tool in making [movies] ... AI is here to stay and change things"

He adds that AI will never have that 'human essence'

We really need to stop with the self fulfilling "it's here to stay" prophecy, or the silly "if we don't use it others will" narrative...

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

(via Variety)

It's less that they're buggy or their "flaws" and more the case that they have middleware dependencies that can't be licensed due to the original company no longer existing. It'd be a technical feat to get the up and running with modern tech.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Okay yeah, on top of this and some enemy/character design for The Other Project™, I'd call today a win.

Jeez the TRON: Ares OST (AKA the latest NIN album) fucks so hard. Even, nay, *ESPECIALLY* the understated instrumental tracks.

My spooky-season gaming tonight was Night Warriors, AKA Vampire Hunter for Saturn.

Default setting 1CCs as Felicia and Bishamon. :)
